Change in the properties of objects over time is a problem for the persistence of these objects. Properties of objects change over time such as trees growing taller and candles melting. Haslanger (2003) notes that this is a problem if we want to call these objects the same thing after change even though they have incompatible properties (p. 316). The tree in the field cannot have the properties of both being five meters tall and six meters tall. Perdurantism is one of the theories that attempts…

If a dog has such level of persistence, why can't we humans have the same? If we meet obstacles, we easily wave the white flag of surrender. This shows our lack of persistence, determination, and tenacity in pursuing our goals. It takes persistence to move forward to progress. If we stop somewhere along the road towards success in…

My parents were and are hard workers. They taught me that you can live a full life being content with where you are, or constantly reaching for the next goal. They invested in various fine arts and recreational activities, while requiring excellence in education. This prepared me for a lifetime of…

Ida B. Wells was an effective advocate was in her persistence through hard times, in her early life and in her civil rights career.
